What is the funniest fishing story you have experienced or witnessed

During the filming of a Berkley Trilene commercial, I was leaning on a branch while pulling a bass out of the submerged trees.  The branch broke and I fell into the water.  The camera kept rolling and I surfaced with the fish in my hand and delivered my line.  Great commercial!
